Thank you very much.
On May 15, 2020, a representative of the Public Health Agency of Canada stated that the national emergency strategic stockpile, the NESS, had an operating budget of $3 million per year and 18 full-time employees. Ten or so years ago, the budget was almost double and there were 27 employees.
What has been the impact of those budget cuts on the performance, the actions and the response of the NESS?
